Incubation progress of Muscovy eggs

[MuscovyLover]

I've had a few that tried to pip internally but were malpositioned and shrink-wrapped and was able to save them.

Kathy, one egg developed a dark grey area on it's side overnight and he was rocking and rolling all night with no internal pipping so i can only assume he tried to pip where the mark is?
I bit the bullet and took the top of the shell off (we're at day 38 now). It looks as though he is upside down but I really don't know. The yolk sac is at the fat end and a few big blood cells are still there under the inner membrane so I've moistened them and have it sitting that end down on a moist cloth.
What now is my question??
My gut feeling is that I should ideally break into the SHELL ONLY at the other end to find his head so I can pip him there and he can start breathing and get acclimated while he absorbs that yolk sac and the veins dry up.
What do you think?

This is the egg now.

Any,name suggestions?

It appears so. Not sure how much longer it will last though given the shell discolouration and my interference.
I'm hoping against hope I can get it out alive.
When I wet the membrane that whole area jumped up and down like a heart beat.
What do you suggest i do? Is there any way to work out where its head is located?

This is my first time hatching so I have no idea.
There looks to be the size of a 20 cent coin? I'm gauging that from the pic above though.

Still alive?

It stopped moving about 1pm yesterday. Left him in there just in case but blood vessels around his face are all jelly like this morning. The odds definitely weren't in his favour :-(
Fingers crossed for egg no 2! He's in there on his own now at day 39 and still active so I'm just going to let him have a few more days. Yesterday was an emotional roller coaster and I'm not keen for a repeat lol.
Did you come up with any names for your little bubbas?

Okay, if you see thick jelly like membrane over the chicks it indicated it got too hot at some point which is weird? The others are going to need assistance to get out of that thing. The tricky part is that the heat causes the blood vessels in the membrane to not recede as they should, so its difficult to determine when to move the membrane from around the duckling.
